2011-2012 Kindergarten Registration Requirements

In order to register your child for Kindergarten for the 2011-2012 school year:

· Your child must be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2011.
· You must provide an original copy of the child’s birth certificate.
· A copy of the child’s social security card is requested.
· You must provide proof of residence (something showing current service into the home with the parent’s name) such as a utility bill. A lease agreement or closing document is acceptable, provided the document includes the name of the person who is enrolling the child.
· Parent or guardian must present identification (driver’s license).
· You must provide a copy of the child’s immunizations. *

*A student must be fully immunized against certain diseases or must present a certificate or statement that, for medical reasons or reasons of conscience, including a religious belief, the student will not be immunized. For exemptions based on reasons of conscience, only official forms issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Immunization Branch, can be honored by the District. This form may be obtained by writing the DSHS Immunization Branch (MC 1946), P.O. Box 149347, Austin, Texas 78714-9347; or online at https://webds.dshs.state.tx.us/immco/affidavit.shtm. If the parent is seeking an exemption for more than one student in the family, a separate form must be provided for each student.

The immunizations required are: diphtheria, rubeola (measles), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis (polio), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and varicella (chicken pox). The school nurse can provide information on age-appropriate doses or on an acceptable physician-validated history of illness required by the Department of State Health Services. Proof of immunization may be established by personal records from a licensed physician or public health clinic with a signature or rubber-stamp validation.

If a student should not be immunized for medical reasons, the student or parent must present a certificate signed by a U.S. licensed physician stating that, in the doctor’s opinion, the immunization required poses a significant risk to the health and well-being of the student or member of the student’s family or household. This certificate must be renewed yearly unless the physician specifies a life-long condition.
